At Atlético de Madrid, they never stop keeping an eye on those young talents who are poised to become great stars in the world of soccer, all of them potential long-term signings. Additionally, the Spanish market is going to be very important for the red-and-white team, as they will try to exploit it, something that didn't happen in the past. Therefore, it's not surprising that several names of footballers who are making a good impression in LaLiga are noted in the Metropolitano offices.
One of them, although it's true that he is in Spain on loan, seems destined to be one of the main protagonists of the next summer market. The Atlético team is one of those aiming to be in the race to secure his signing, although it's not one of the top priorities. In fact, it has been the striker himself who has opened the door to make himself available to Simeone after some surprising statements.
A Forward Offers Himself to Atlético de Madrid
Evidently, the red-and-white teamhas become one of the preferred destinations for great players, especially considering what happened this season. Atlético de Madrid is in the fight for all the titles and looks to the future with great optimism, having major reinforcements in their sights. One of them is Fabio Silva, a Portuguese international who is on loan at Las Palmas and has scored seven goals so far.
Wolverhampton paid 40 million euros to Oporto almost five years ago in a very surprising operation, as the figure was considered very exorbitant at that time. He has had numerous loans in recent years, without finding regularity until this season in Spain. At 22 years old, he has a market value of 18 million euros, although it doesn't seem that the English club will let him leave so easily.
Words for Simeone
"Atlético de Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world, with one of the best coaches," stated Fabio Silva in an interview given to The Athletic. "In any case, I'm currently focused on Las Palmas," the Portuguese clarified to avoid any kind of controversy at his club. He couldn't be present in the last match against Villarreal due to injury, but his good level is making him one of the surprises of this year.
It must be taken into account that the Atlético team has other priorities to strengthen the squad, but they always consider young prospects. Fabio Silva has already been able to score against both Real Madrid and Barça, showing that he is someone who doesn't shy away from big occasions. It is unknown what his future will be, but at the Metropolitano they are very alert to his development in case the opportunity to sign him arises.
